[Verse 1]
Em D She says he's gone away on a short holiday Em D He won’t be back for a while Em D The twelve from the bench stood up and hesitated Em C Bm he’ll be leaving right after this trial
[Verse 2]
Em D Circumstance, evidence who can cheat providence Em D He wished he could go back again Em D A flick of the wrist he wished that he missed Em C Bm Not guilty is all he can say

[Chorus]
G Pass ‘round the gossip now D Let’s wait and see G Pass ‘round the tray now D Let’s have some tea G My boys haven’t seen him D He’s been working away G Don’t bother looking D A He’s not home today A Not home today
Em D/E Em D/Em
[Verse 3]
Em D T-shirts and badges with free tickles and smudges Em D In the end you’ll believe what you feel Em D When ten hands are aiming and no-one is complaining Em C Bm In a sense it could be more real
